        If you prefer not to use the setup assistant, select
        <guimenuitem>Preferences</guimenuitem> from the
        <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu, and work your way through
        the page tabs it offers you.  They are:

          <listitem>
        <para>
               <guilabel>Identity</guilabel>, which allows you to set
               your name, email address, and other information.  The
               default values are the ones found on your system account.
        </para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para>
              <guilabel>Network</guilabel>, which allows you to
              specify your network settings.  There are no default
              values for this information.

              <guilabel>Mail</guilabel>, which allows you to specify
              attachment and HTML handling, forwarding behavior,
              filters, and other <application>Evolution</application>
              behaviors specific to email.  The default behaviors are

        <para>
              <guilabel>Calendar</guilabel>, which allows you to set
              the way that your calendar will behave and appear.  The
              default view is by week and the default calendar is
              Western.  Date format is determined by the system clock
              and localization, and cannot be set here.

      <title>Identity Settings</title> 
      <para>
         If you have only one email address, or use automatic
         forwarding to funnel multiple addresses into one, then you
         will only need to configure one identity. To create a single
         user with a single identity, enter the following information:
         (INSERT detailed DESCRIPTION HERE)
      </para>

      <para>
         If you have one email accout for your personal life, and one
     for work, you'll want to create multiple identities.  You
     can do this by: (INSERT DESCRIPTION HERE)

    <title>Multiple Identities and Network Settings</title>
    <para>
           If you use multiple network connections&mdash;if, for
           example, you dial up an ISP for your personal mail, and use
           a LAN for your work-related tasks&mdash; you will also have
           to set seperate network settings for each identity.

      <title>Setting up the Network</title> 
      <para>
        In order to do much of anything with
        <application>Evolution</application>, you need to connect to
        your network.  To do that, you'll need to know your user name
        and password, what sort of mail sending and receiving
        protocols your network uses, and the names of the servers
        you'll be using.  If you're switching from another groupware
        or email progam, you can almost certainly use the same
        settings as you did with that program.  Select the
        <guibutton>Network</guibutton> tab in the
        <interface>Preferences</interface> window to get started.

              People with who use multiple ISP's or networks, or who
